Britain's Kindest Kid 2010

Britain's Kindest KidFive news and Charities Aid Foundation are in search of Britain's Kindest Kid 2010.

Last year we recognised the amazing work that young people do to support charities, help others and make the world a better place. Whether that was a sponsored swim, bike ride or donating valuable time. This year we're looking for more kind young people.

Last year’s winner Harry Moseley, lives with an inoperable brain tumour and has raised over £10,000 for Brain Tumour UK, by making and selling beaded bracelets.

Have you volunteered, raised money for a charity, done something to improve the area where you live or shown real kindness by caring for, or helping others? If you or someone you know are aged between 5 and 16, now is your chance to enter.

We are particularly interested in hearing about young people who may not have been recognised before.

What will the winner receive?
